Oh, Arnon..?
I think the first time I watched a man dancing to Ravel's Boléro was in a movie called Les Uns et Les Outres. I think it was the closing scene (it's been a looong time since that, babes), and I was ENTRANCED. I always find it absolutely riveting watching men dance. Here, a more contemporary take on that awesome piece.
Rumor has it that Ravel was a very closeted 'secretive' gay man and I think Boléro is his ode to sex. Oh yes. And not the Bo Derek type of sex. More like the Tim Tales/Sean Cody kinda sex ifyouknowwhatImean. So as a palate cleanse, here it is. @arnonherring with his take on Ravel's Boléro.
You're welcome.

P.S. if you want to keep your Insta pretty, give @arnonherring a follow....
I love a classically trained male dancer and not JUST because of the obvious.
ReplyDeleteThe athleticism is good, too!
xoxo
Same!
DeleteWhoa. The way that body moves is just fantastic. Remember that Olympian on the pummel horse? Same feeling.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteI’ve seen Arnon on YouTube before, he popped up as a suggestion. I’m glad he did. He got things popping, alright 😜.
I love the video and your critique. Just gave him a follow on instagram. A nice way to end a harrowing week.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Oh, yes.
DeleteYoutube KNOWS you. And that's the kind of content I'm going to follow from now on...

Dancers, both male and female, don't get enough credit for being the amazing athletes they are, quite apart from their artistry.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree.
DeleteThe blood, sweat and tears that go into a presentation like this are never counted.
XOXO
Thanks. It was interesting. I'm not that wild about the song; it was terribly overplayed when I was younger, and I have never, ever had an interest in ballet.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes.
DeleteI remember reading that Bo Derek made it totally ubiquitous. But it is a fab composition.

ReplyDeleteI believe I've seen clips of him before. Well done. Always. Great form --- so many dancers curl the toes when pointing and he doesn't. Bravo! Thanks for a lovely start to the weekend.
XOXO
I just found him and thought he was fantastic.
DeleteThere IS something about the position of the foot, right?
XOXO
